Day 1682 We go for a double and prepare for the show

We did not do the double but, after a solid eighteen hours of rest and  sleep in the last two nights I gunned it to get 2500 calories in sixty.I had a great pace and it felt incredible as I burned 2474 calories.

Day 1683 We do our jaunt then our show!

Day 1681 Do we do a double? Do we work today?

No,No and No. Oh, two no's were enough. Actually, it is only one no. To summarize No double because I was schedule to meet someone and I slept until 810am the reason I slept 810 is interesting. I set the alarm to 525 am.Are following me?Then when the larm went off I decided since I did not have to be anywhere until 11 am I would sleep until 625 am because I thought I had the alarm already in preset at 625 am.Well I feel back into a blissful sleep only to wake up at 810 am.Much to my surprise as I was waiting for the alarm to go on.It never did. However as I learned earlier my preset of 625 am was not 625 am it was 625 pm!

Hence, the shorter workout.As I arrived at the gym at 925 am.I know 925am is an hour and 15 minutes from the time I woke up. The big question is what did I do for 75 minutes? Now, the real big question is what did I do when I got home from the daily toil yesterday at 620 pm?

Simple, I got into bed to sleep but, I only slept for a few hours then got up and showered and enjoyed Yankee baseball then went to sleep at 1140 pm. Then some 9 hours later I had my longest sleep in about 2 weeks.Can someone please explain to me how I can be more achy after a long sleep than a sorter sleep? Is it the lack of comfort from the mattress?

Anyway I got back on the horse and burn 2400 + calories in an hour for the 39TH time in 40 days.As I burned a good strong 2434 calories in an hour.One again it was an awesome feeling.

Day 1680 Nice fat number!

It ends! Time to start a new streak. I just could not get my legs to move fast enough.I felt great and terrible all in one breath.It ws an awesome workout because I was trying so hard but  frustrating one because I did not have more energy to do more. I burned 2372 and that was that.

Day 1681 Do we do a double? Do we work today?

Day 1679 We climb to Mount 38!

I thought I had it pinned at 30 minutes but boy, it kept fighting back.Finally nailed it at about 57 minutes that when I knew I had it. I as thinking about fifty for a fe minutess then I was fighting hard just to keep it at 20.

All this may make sense to some but, the bottomline is I as trying to keep the pace to beat 2400 calories burned in an hour.

It takes a lot to do it every day but, dang if it is not a lot of fun!

Do you believe that if your attitude is not up, you can act like it is, until your attitude can get up?

Day 1678 As we attack 37 days!

Wow, that was not easy.Having smashed my shin on a block of wood about 40 minutes before leaving the daily toil. I woke up this morning again at 410 am! Got on the machine at 5 am and proceeded to burn 2420 calories in sixty minutes, again. Same amount as yesterday.Now, the streak is at 37 days of burning 2400+ calories in an hour.

Perspective, I'd say there are about 200 million adults in the US today. I wonder how many of those 200 million have done at least 1 hour of hard cardio for the last 1678 or more days? My guess is maybe 2 million? One out of a hundred? No way. Maybe 1 out of 500.My ego tells me not. One out of a 1000 that means only 2000 people in America today have done what I have done over the last 1678 days.Wow!

Day 1676 Now we shoot in for a great work out and then go to the station for show # 15!

Day 1674 I will get more sleep and here comes 33!

Yes ladies and gentlemen it is post time( 630am).Monday through Friday I am usually done with my cardio at this time but, on Saturday and Sunday I do my work out later.


Here goes....

Make it 33 straight days where I burned at least 2400 calories in an hour.Today, I burned 2462 not bad when I had burned 1200 in the first half of the hour.

I  it was Day 706 when I stopped doing my hour workouts on the Life cycle.Now, in the last 968 days I have used the Cybex Arc trainer..I have added to my hourly calorie burn by first burning around 1300 calories an hour and now for the last 33 days 2400 calories an hour.The difference being by adding more weight to the actual weight setting I get more resistance and then burning more calories by increasing my speed.

The weight is hard to figure it could a little more muscle mass or it could be just a slower metabolism. I feel like I have been eating more because my appetite has increased. I do not usually stop moving from 4am to 630 pm Monday through Friday.For two years I did not stop for Seven days a week.


Day 1675 Now we go for a double.

Day 1673 Friday did you catch up on sleep?

Nope. In fact with all the excitement and intrigue I got less sleep.I watch most of two games last night.As in a rare instance my two favorite teams were playing at the same time on a week day night. The other part of both games I laid in bed listening to on the radio.

None the less I got up when the mirimba music started to play and went to the gym and for the 32ND day I burned 2400+ calories in an hour. I burned 2419.

Day 1672 Let's make it an undisputed month

Day 1670 Back to a regular schedule can we do three in a row and 29 days!

Well, I started strong. I burned 825 calories in the first twenty minutes.I was on pace for 206 calories per five minutes. Not bad.You know the old Roger Bannister a quarter of a mile every minute to do a four minute mile strategy. Yesterday, my pace was a little faster.I was thinking okay pick up the pace and then we can do another 2500+ calorie burn in sixty.So I flipped the switch and guess what? No such pick up. I said I should be at 840 by 20 minutes into the workout.And I was at 838.I figured okay not bad. Keep the pace and you will have 1676 at 40.Then do another 838, and you will break 2500 !

It all sounded good then I hit the wall.I was barely able ton do 200 in five minutes and I wound up despite a tremendous effort burning, 2411 calories in the hour.Instead of burning 1676 calories in the last 40 minutes I burned 1573.Not a great performance but I kept the streak going to 29 days of burning 2400.

There I was flying along at 4200 calories burned in the first 1 hour and forty five minutes.Then, wham. I burned 536 calories in the last 15 minutes. Still, an awesome work out.


Just received word no work tonight.However, next Saturday will work maybe a double.

Day 1665 Now we are deep into this way of life.

When you consider what I have gone  through in the last 4 years and 7 1/2 months it is easy to see why this has been an adventure of a lifetime.I have risen every day to meet a challenge that puts me in a place where I could never have imagined.I thank God for these blessings. I praise him for my strength. I know deep in my heart that it is only because of him that I have maintained this pace. Mentally, I am at a place that I am truly in awe of.

As I leave the house, I feel renewed and refreshed........

I feel spiritual more today than  in past days. Which is great because I believe we are all spirits living in a human body or form. Today, this form or body was spirited enough to burn more than 2400 calories for the 24TH consecutive day.

Day 1660 Not sure if work is in the offing-Looking for a double

The work plan is set for a 530 pm start time as my Yanks playing tonight.It is now 614 am my workout will begin around 645. As I go for nineteen in a row days of burning 2400 plus calories in an hour.I feel I will do that first then enjoy one hour after that.

I do owe myself that as the next two days will see if I can break my previous streak.

Play by  play of a vigorous workout:
645 am start on the Cybex arc trainer in first 30 minutes of planned 120 minute workout I burned 1190 calories.
In next 30 minutes, I burned 1248 calories for a total calorie burn in the first 60 minutes 2438. I continued on for the next hour and burned 1171 calories. My total burn in 120 minutes was 4809. Which is the most I have done in two hours for a long time.

I did a little research and reviewed back to double workout # 45, that was on  May 26th Day 1555. At no date that far back did I see a workout of 2 hours where I burned 4800 calories or more in two hours.

As we conclude an awesome workout  that lasted 2 1/2 hours and included the 62ND double workout I burned 4809 calories in 120 minutes.I did 40 pullups and 4 minutes with 330 killer crunches and 430 crunches with 700 q's and 800 floors. Weight 183.


Now we ready for work at 530pm

Day 1659 Did you contact Fitworks?

Sure did.All set pay 27 for the week and I am in for the workouts. It is alot more than 10 a month I pay at PF but heck, it is a vacation.The streak will continue in October, Good Lord willing.speaking of streaks, it is now 18 days in a row I have burned 2400 plus in an hour.My weight has gone up but I think its because I have been feeling dry and have been increasing my in take in liquids and solids.Like romaine, tomatoes and cherries and grapes and almonds, baked potatoes and rice cakes and hot salsa honey grain bagel.

1. burned 2454 what a second half run. Burned 1260 in 30 minutes
2. 40 tough pull ups

Day 1658 We did put in for our time off on Tuesday 9/4

Enough with the vacation talks but I do have contact Fitworks to arrange for a spot to work out while on vacation.To me part of a vacation is to workout.

As we continue our streak to 17 days with a 2437 calorie burn.AS I burned 1237 in the last thirty mines. With 40 pull ups 4 minutes of plank and 340 killers and 450 crunches and 630 q's with 800 floors and a weigh in of 186.I think because the vocation has not had me moving all day and my appetite has stayed the same.I feel right now I need to improve on appetite attitude.I feel the 80% full rule needs to be brought in.

Day 1659 Did you contact Fitworks?

Day 1657 33 days until OHIO!

I continue fight as I refuse to lose this streak.I burned 2420 in 60. So, now the streak is 16 days. My last streak was 20 days and that was interrupted by only one day before I started the current streak of days.

I did 50 pullups and 2 segments of plank first was 2 1/2 minutes and the second was 4 minutes.It has been a stretch of high humidity as I was completely drenched while doing my crunches and plank.360 killers,440 crunches and 610 q's and 800 floors. My weight has actually gone up to 186 the highest in a while.

Day 1658 We did put in for our time off on Tuesday 9/4

Day 1656 Back to normal!

With a tremendous effort and a refuse to lose attitude between the hour of 5 am and 6 am this morning I maintained the streak. I am proud to say I have burned 2400 plus calories in an hour each day since Day 1641.a total of 15 days.

Today, I had to burn 1256 calories in the last 30 minutes to burn the 2406 calories I burned within the hour.  When I noticed how much I had to burn to burn 2400 calories with 30 minutes to go I got very determined.I knew I had to dramatically increase the pace.I had to go from burning 38.33 calories a minute to burning  41.67 per minute. I knew for next 30 minutes I had to not give mysel not a single second of pause.

When I came back and completed my effort I was exhausted. I did 30 pull ups and  4 minutes of plan. 350 killers,430 crunches and 500 q's and 600 floors. Weight 184-

Day 1657 33 days until OHIO!

Day 1655 Lets do it!

Got everything done. Was determined and I did it.

1. Got up at 411 am
2. Got to the studio at 520 am
3. Did a great radio show
4. Arrived at the gym at 722 am
5. From 725 to 825 am burned more than 2400 calories in an hour( 2442) my weight on the scale was 185)
6. Left gym at 833 am
7. Clocked in at work 851 am
8. Left work at 502 pm
9. Shopped bought return airline ticket

Then, I finally showered! Ah, feel great.

By my own choosing I selected all these activities.

Day 1656 Back to normal!

Day 1654 Do we do the double?

I am thinking .... not. As we get moving after church we prepare for the show and the morning's activities.Tomorrow, the game plan will be studio then workout then work. As Labor Day is officially celebrated.

I realize all will be a tight squeeze as I shoe horn in an hour workout.

• 6am - 7 am show
• 720-30 workout
• 820-830 leave for work.

Here goes.

No double but, went really hard at the 2400 + mark. Had an excellent pace at 30 minutes and carried it through to a 2449 calorie burn in 60. Today is the 13TH consecutive day I did a workout where I burned 2400 calories or more in sixty minutes. I did 50 pull ups and 7 minutes of plank,with 340 killers and 430 crunches.700 q's and 800 floors.I weighed in AGAIN at 179. Thats is pretty awesome with out doing a double.

The Records:

• 1654 straight days of doing a sixty minute cardiovascular workout
• 60 workouts where I did at least 2 hours of cardiovascular workouts
• 13 straight days of burning 2400 or more calories in an hour 

There in lies the rub. The focus is to keep the focus.Granted, tomorrow will be hectic in the beginning but by staying focused things will go off without a hitch.


Day 1655 Lets do it!

Day 1653 WE go for our 60TH double!

I miss  my old Saturday routine, which I did prior to starting the radio show.The first radio show I did  was Monday June 18Th 2012 a total of  11 weeks.On Mondays, when the show airs I  get up at 3am go to the gyym then atfrom 6 am to 7 am the show is on.. However, on the weekend I have been sleeping in on Sunday and Saturday. In an effort to catch up on sleep I lose during the week.

Today, I will do the gym and then mow the lawn. The weather should be cool enough for an awesome workout! It is now 915 am, I should be done with those two tasks by 1 or 2 pm. I am getting ready!

Monday, since the gym opens at 7 am I cannot go in before the radio show. I will go in the gym just before I go to work

Here we go, two simple tasks!......

A great challenge met.First, we did our 60TH  double by burning 4667 calories in 120 minutes.In the first hour I did burn 2430 calories in an hour for the twelve time in as many days by burning 2400 calories in an hour.. I stretched and weighed in at 179 and headed home to complete the second task which was mowing the lawn I completed those two tasks and now I am resting.

Day 1654 Do we do the double?
